Ingredients
- 3/4 pound poblano peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded
- 1 pound thin chicken cutlets
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- Kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 large white onion, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rings
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1-pound bag frozen french fries
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- Lime wedges, for serving (optional)
Directions
Preheat the broiler. Put the poblanos skin-side up on a foil-lined broiler pan; broil until charred, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, cover and let sit about 5 minutes. Peel and cut into 1/2-inch strips.
Rub both sides of the chicken with the chili powder and salt to taste. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, cook the chicken until browned, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer to a plate. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet, then cook the onion until softened and browned, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and add the poblanos and garlic. Cover and cook 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook the fries as the label directs.
Cut the chicken into 1/2-inch strips and add to the skillet along with the cream. Cook, uncovered, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Divide the fries among plates and spoon the chicken and sauce on top. Serve with lime wedges, if desired.

I LOVE this recipe! I have made it at least five times now and it is perfect every time. The flavors are amazing and it is perfect football food. My husband and my dad both loved it. I like to use seasoned fries, but I think this chicken would be good on anything! This recipe has definately made my rotation- it's a keeper. Thanks food network for creating a perfect recipe!

So super delish! Much better, though, with homemade fries - just slice potatoes and bake. love love love this! as a p.s. the poblanos i bought last time were MUCH spicier than my first attempt... i might cut down to 2 peppers for those sensitive to heat.
